Lamba or Anonymous Functions
Create an anonymous function and bind it to a variable
Simple one
iex> func = fn -> IO.puts("Hello") end
#Function<21.126501267/0 in :erl_eval.expr/5>
iex> func.()
Hello
:ok
One with arguments
iex> func = fn t -> IO.puts(t) end
#Function<7.126501267/1 in :erl_eval.expr/5>
iex> func.("Hello")
Hello
:ok
Another solution is the &
operator used as syntastic sugar
iex> func = &(&1 + &2)
&:erlang.+/2
iex> func.(2, 2)
